Written and extensively class tested with NSF/NIH support, this timely and useful text addresses a crucial need which is acknowledged in most universities and colleges. It is the need for students to learn to write in the context of their field of study; in this case science. Although numerous qhow toq writing books have been published, few, if any, address the central pedagogical issues underlying the process of learning to think and write scientifically.
